It's said that if you ask ten different people to define "DevOps" you will receive ten different answers. I would try to look past giving the word a formal definition.

I would hesitate to even classify it as a word, given that it is not found in most well regarded dictionaries. A portmanteau, perhaps. https://www.lexico.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&filter=dictionary&dictionary=en&query=devops https://www.lexico.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&filter=dictiona... https://www.dictionary.com/misspelling?term=devops https://www.dictionary.com/misspelling?term=devops
- david-s 7y agoi would not look to dictionaries as the arbiters of what is a word or not. they seem to me to be convenient references at best. they frequently leave out common technical jargon.
- spikefromspace 7y agoI feel DevOps is similar to Agile. It defines a set of principles from which an organization can derive and implement practices that are most appropriate for them. Once enough organizations implement such practices, it leads to some industry wide best practices and some organization specific practices and that is totally fine in my opinion.
